East Ayrshire Council: Strategic Planning Commissioning & Delivery of Health & Social Care Services within East Ayrshire Mr advised that the test in the first stage of the review was if a change to the Integration Scheme was necessary or desirable. The finding of the review was that it was desirable to change some elements of the Integration Scheme however it has not been deemed as necessary at present as there may be scope within the present scheme to address these issues. Therefore a further stage two review is in abeyance until work has been undertaken, within current arrangements, this will be supported by Scottish Government. The full papers as presented to Council and NHS Board were disseminated to the group for information. 5. Unscheduled Care Report Mr presented the Unscheduled Care Report to provide information which is presented regularly to the NHS Board, providing a consolidated report on unscheduled care across the system and to highlight the implications for East Ayrshire. It was noted within the background reports that there was increasing pressure at the front door of the acute hospitals with admissions increasing despite the decrease in emergency department admissions, this is due to new models of working with the Combined Assessment Unit. Discussion took place regarding ensuring admissions and presentations at the Emergency Department are appropriate and the duty of care staff have to our residents across the Unscheduled Care Pathway. There was also discussion on adverse impact on East Ayrshire
Residents of decisions made by neighbouring IJBs. The Board noted and agreed the following recommendations: i. To note and comment on the NHS Ayrshire & Arran Report; and ii. Agree and direct the Director to bring forward proposals on how to shift the balance of support from unscheduled care to planned and preventative support. 6. Integrated Care Fund Mr Erik Sutherland presented the Integrated Care Fund report to appraise the IJB of progress in undertaking a prioritisation exercise in relation to the baseline of the Integrated Care Fund (ICF) and seeking delegation from the IJB to conclude this process and finalise the baseline of the resource. It was noted that the ICF aimed to test a range of supports and interventions to improve personal and population outcomes based on co-production, technology enabled care and assets-based approaches. Prioritisation work is underway to risk assess and mitigate workforce retention, perceived deterioration in the quality of service, public or political acceptability and IJB prioritisation or prevention and early intervention. Councillor John McGhee sought clarity on the HR implications specifically relating to job security and was advised that staff are currently on short term contracts due to the funding arrangements and steps are being taken to baseline services within the existing resources to maintain staff. The Board noted the report and agreed the following recommendations: i. Direct the Chief Officer in his capacity as Director of Health and Social Care to conclude the prioritisation exercise in relation to the ongoing investment of former ICF resources within the baseline budget; ii. Direct the Chief Officer in his capacity as Director of Health and Social Care to communicate the results of the prioritisation exercise with programme leads for the former ICF; iii. Direct the Chief Officer in his capacity as Director of Health and Social Care to consider the implications of ongoing investment in the context of the entire resource delegated to the IJB and specifically in relation to the contribution to community nursing and community health and care capacity; and iv. Receive a subsequent report detailing conclusions on the baselining of the former ICF. Erik Sutherland
7. Regional Delivery Plan Mr presented a letter from Mr John Burns, NHS Ayrshire & Arran Chief Executive, detailing the West of Scotland Regional Delivery Workshop which took place on 20 September 2017. It was highlighted that agreement had been made at a previous IJB for Mr to attend, engage and feedback to the Board. It has been agreed that there are benefits in having a tiered approach to service delivery at individual locality, IJB, NHS Board and regional. In some instances it will be safer and more effective for regional contracts for services rather than for individual Boards however this will not prevent services from being locality focused. 8 Integration Authorities Engagement with Stakeholders Mr presented the Integrated Authorities Engagement with Stakeholders Report to provide information in relation to the recent developments with stakeholder engagement with East Ayrshire IJB and provide and update on the recent Health and Sport Committee report. The Partnership Programme Manager has been undertaking work within the locality to support arrangements for meaningful engagement.
